Methyl iodide → HCID 11623273, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(4-(pyridin-2-yl)but-3-ynyl)benzo[d]oxazol-4-ol (20 mg, 76 μmol, Example 70), methyl iodide (57 μL, 114 μmol) and K2CO3 (18 mg, 130 μmol) in DMF (2 mL) was stirred under reflux for 3 h. The reaction mixture was then allowed to cool to room temperature and was dissolved in DCM. The organic phase was washed with water, HCl 1N; saturated solution of NaHCO3, brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated. The crude residue was purified by flash chromatography (DCM/MeOH 99:1) to yield 10 mg (36 μmol, 47%) of 4-methoxy-2-(4-(pyridin-2-yl)but-3-ynyl)benzo[d]oxazole as a brown solid.
